Want Kids to Succeed

Want kids to succeed

April 27, 2020

As a parent, I will do anything I can to help my child succeed and excel. If that means sacrificing financially, our family has and is willing to do this. However, no family should have to struggle to make sure their child gets the best education.

My son Spencer struggles with anxiety, which has a major impact on his learning abilities and his social comfort in certain settings. Traditional schools are great, but traditional simply does not work for Spencer. It is important for children, and their parents, to have options when it comes to where and how they receive an education. Just like all of our children have different personalities and talents, they learn differently too.

I am confident that a new learning environment for Spencer, one that takes his anxiety-driven behavior issues into consideration, would be a game changer. I believe in his abilities and his desire to learn, but without the right environment, we are grappling with issues out of his control. Spencer’s success in education will not only provide him a better future, but it will also give him the confidence he needs to make a positive impact on society. Isn’t that what we all want for our children? A program like the Succeed Scholarship would not only change the trajectory of Spencer and other children’s lives, but it would also impact families in a way that would be felt for generations.
